Ephesians 5:21–32

^21dSubmitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

^22eWives, ^fsubmit yourselves unto your own husbands, ^gas unto the Lord. ²³For ^hthe husband is the head of the wife, even as ^hiChrist is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of ^kthe body. ²⁴Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands ^lin every thing. ^25mHusbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and ⁿgave himself for it; ²⁶That he might ^psanctify and ^pcleanse it ^owith the washing of water ^pby the word, ^27qThat he might present it to himself a glorious church, ^rnot having ^sspot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be ^tholy and without blemish. ²⁸So ought men to ^mlove their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. ²⁹For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but ^ttnourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: ³⁰For ^uwe are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. ^31vFor this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they ^wtwo shall be one flesh. ³²This is a great mystery: but ^xI speak ^xxconcerning Christ and the church.
